The versatility of their toolkit allows them to adapt to various situations, making them a reliable DPS choice.

 

↖ Unholy Death Knight

In contrast to their Frost counterparts, Unholy Death Knights find themselves in the C-tier. While they are capable of handling Mythic+ dungeons and achieving commendable damage output, their toolkit could be better suited for the fast-paced nature of these dungeons. The setup required for their optimal damage output can be a hindrance in high-level keys, where other specs shine with quicker burst damage.

 

↖ Havoc Demon Hunter

Havoc Demon Hunters are experiencing a challenging time in the 10.1.7 Mythic+ meta, landing in the C-tier. Despite their middling position, Havoc Demon Hunters still manage to clear dungeons with reasonable efficiency. However, the design of the dungeons in this season doesn't favour their playstyle, and they are struggling compared to previous seasons.

They continue to clear keys up to 28 and 29, making them a strong choice in the current meta.
